A friend of mine asked me to do a motor swap in his '00 TJ currently has the 4.0 and NV3500 showing 42k on the mileage. Going in will be a 2006 5.3 with 4L60E (58,261 miles on them) and will keep the 231. Ill show making everything that I possibly can for this swap to save on cost that includes making new harness, motor mounts ect. so figured I'd post up the process here of the swap here as I go and ill try to take as many pics / details as possible for anyone else thinking about doing this motor swap.
One thing that had to be purchased was the tcase adapter, went with the Advanced Adapter Kit #50-0430 from summitracing for $473.44 and free shipping. Sent the trans to local shop to have the new tail shaft installed that cost was $100.00 and said the internals looked great.
